Frequently asked questions
- How do I pay?
- Bank transfer, JazzCash or Easypaisa to the details on your invoice. Send the transaction ID and your plan activates within one working day. Card payments are coming with our gateway integration.
- Do paid listings affect reviews or rankings in editorial content?
- No. Paid tiers change placement in directory listings and are labelled. Reviews, ratings, calculator results and news are never for sale, and sponsored articles are marked Sponsored.
- Do paid plans include a dofollow link?
- No, and no honest publisher sells one: Google treats a paid followed link as a link scheme and penalises both sites. Free listings link to your website with rel="nofollow"; Verified and higher tiers, sponsored articles and paid link placements link with rel="sponsored", which is what Google asks for. What you pay for is the placement: the visitors, the enquiries, your name in front of readers and a page Google indexes.
- Can I cancel?
- Monthly plans simply lapse if you do not renew; annual Verified is non-refundable after activation. Sponsored articles are refunded in full if we decline the topic before editing starts.
- Is there a discount for multiple locations?
- Yes: email ads@searchable.pk with the list of branches and we quote a bundle.
